Abbaye Road is named for the residence that Marc Delienne purchased when he moved to Beaujolais. It's a blend of multiple batches of fruit from his vineyards, organically farmed slopes in Fleurie, aged in his huge foudres. It's another fantastic release from this rising star producer.
100% Gamay.
A juicy, fragrant wine with notes of red fruits, blueberries and spice. Great balance with silky, succulent fruit and a core of acid holding things in place. Really good now but will improve for maybe 3 to 6 years.
Manual harvest in small crates, sorting in the cellar. Maceration of the whole harvest in concrete vats under temperature control. Neither yeast addition nor chaptalisation. No punching down, light daily pumping over. Short vatting (between 6 and 12 days depending on the cuvées)
Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early
These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
Carbonic maceration is a form of whole bunch fermentation, when whole bunches of uncrushed grapes ferment from the inside out. It traditionally requires an environment full of CO2, some winemakers allow a percentage of crushed grapes to ferment & release the CO2.
While a natural process, it has been adopted as a stylistic choice to make wines fruiter & soften their tannins

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
